Which Program is Right for You

When you are faced with a terminal illness, your doctor may discuss with you what your various care options are, because sometimes patients find it difficult to understanding the differences between the programs.

Accredited Hospices of America put together this chart to give patients an overview that demonstrates the differences between each program.

We offer hospice care to people with serious, advanced illnesses who are no longer receiving curative treatments. Palliative care can be given to patients suffering from serious illnesses who need help managing their symptoms, though they may be receiving treatments in an attempt to cure their illness. Home health care provides patients with skilled care following a hospital stay. Home health care often is an option for patients who expect to recover from their illness.
